It’s finally here, the article you’ve all been waiting for, our list with the top 50 hottest women in the world of 2012. I know we all have a different take on who the sexiest women in the world are, but I’m pretty sure you’re going to like most of our picks and rankings, because these are exactly the girls that mattered last year.

From young up and comers to women that everyone on the face of planet probably knows, they’ve impressed us thoroughly with awesome photoshoots, box office smashes, viral videos, jaw dropping GIFs and popular hits. The competition was stiff, but after weeks of brainstorming (we’ve actually started this top right before Christmas) we’ve finally managed to narrow this list down to just 50 women.

These are the women who make us feel weak at the knees and warm and fuzzy inside, so please sit back, relax, do whatever you want and… enjoy!
